Dealing With Rubbing - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

We need to find some one who does aluminum work and shape new fenders and raise the wheel well height like we did with body dropped trucks.

we could always rip the front fenders off and rat rod the shit out of 'em

seriously if someone put the time and effort into it, this could be one mean looking moderen rat rod

gotta use your imagination big time

Hmmmm...... I have seen a radio flyer chopped in half and used as wheel wells before.

i just installed Tien s Tech springs approx 2" drop all around
i also installed 18" Rims w/ Falken 215/18/35's
42 offset ( i wished i would have gotten 17"'s instead less offset and 40 series tires.. that's for you newbies..

.. im rubbing ..

now - the guy who took the time to post the pic showing the area that rubs - yup thats exaclty right .. (me too)
i plan on rolling the fenders .. i'll try to find somewhere online where i can rent a fender roller .. not sure if i can - if anyone knows of a place let me know!
otherwise I will do this ole skewl style .. baseball bat (wooden)

my tires are fine but i just installed the springs a few days ago .. i suspect that the springs will settle therefore dropping my car even more, hence more rubbing - real bad

so i'm most likely going to wallmart tonight . will get a ten dollar wooden baseball bat .. jack up my car and place the baseball bat in between the fender and the tire (tight fit) then roll roll roll away .. hope i dont crack the paint .. but if i do i already decided i can live with it .. touch up paint my friendz

any thoughts !!!?>>

i don't know if this would be the right thread to post this but i lowered my sedan on the df210 springs today on stock struts. i currently have 17 inch tenzo rims with 42 offset and 205/40/17 tires and the front is rubbing a lot when i make a right turn and when i hit a dip in the road. would anyone know what might be the problem?

The fenders are pretty good. I don't think you really need to roll it except for the bit that sticks out, but that is where the metal holds the clip for the fender liner.
This is where is usually rubs. If you put a bit of negative camber in the fronts it should help. Also for those who have springs like the DF10's or whatever but still using stock control rates for the struts. You should upgrade to a stiffer strut.
Some of the guys out there have those soft Tein lowering springs and these don't really help out either unless you add the better struts as well.

The larger the wheel, the more unsprung weight. Get a nice set of light wheels, 16's are perfect for this car as far as looks and performance. I prefer 15's. For the street I actually prefer to run narrower tires like 205's instead of the 215's or 225's. For track I use 225's and for solo, either 225's or maybe someday,,,,,,those sticky 255/45/13 A6 Hoosiers!

Right now, I'm in the process of changing all my tires to Toyo

I have found a sw for tire calculations (TyreComp1.3) it looks nice to me the good thing is that it is downloadable and can be used offline here is the download link
